Things are not as they should be or I'm a tad bit sad...
I realized last night and this a.m. (early) that I'm sad. I've been friends with Beth for over 25 years - our freshman year at Bible College. Michael and Don have been friends even longer - they were OLD upper class men and staff when WE arrived. ::snort::
When we moved from OR we met with Don and Beth and their family several times for camping trips. This time they are visiting us. It's the first time we've all gotten together when our GIRLS aren't here. Our girls have been in Master's Commission for two years...and I'm fairly used to them being absent now....but things aren't quite RIGHT. Sarah, Don and Beth's daughter, got married a week or two ago and moved to WYOMING! - how DARE THEY!!! Grow up and out of our homes....sigh..but never out of our hearts. I've been thinking of those early days and friendships....of the girls as babies....learning to crawl and squalling at the mall while new mommies learned to nurse in public....and now they range from 20 - 22.....it made me sad...and happy at the same time.
Of course, preparing to say goodbye to one of my sister friends this a.m. puts me in a melancholy mood ANYWAY - but the girls certainly SHOULD have been here for this visit. I'm going to have to speak to the three of them. LOL

Sis:
So Sorry and praying for you as we sure know your feelings.
HUGS!! l/p
I knew there'd be folks who understood.
AHHHH.... makes me want to cry. I know the day will come when our dd will move out and one day she'll marry and might move. I chose to not think about it for now.
I wish we had been there too...looking at the blog always makes me miss home...love you!

Bre - we miss you too! But you are right where you need to be, hon!
